Missing and unaccountable Nova Scotia Kirks.
« on: Sunday 30 August 20 11:01 BST (UK) »

The following Kirks predominantly from Nova Scotia have eluded me, any help and assistance would be greatly appreciated:

Adam Roderick Kirk birth abt 1865 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia
1881 — Age: 16 Antigonish, Nova Scotia, this is the last record I could find for him

Agnes Jane (nee Davies) Kirk birth Abt 1891 married James D Kirk 1880- Lismore, Pictou, Nova Scotia

David Kirk 1912-

Ellen J (nee McDermaid) Kirk 1869-

George Kirk birth Abt 1832 in Lismore, Pictou, Nova Scotia death bef 1901 in Nova Scotia

Harry Huntley Kirk birth 30 Mar 1907 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia
1965 — Age: 58 Antigonish; Guysborough, Nova Scotia, this is the last record I could find for him

The following entries are somewhat obscure:

Have you contacted the anc tree members with private tree on the Kirk family ?

Shame.  Interesting how many of them covered by Global Roots HDK (Private) 12, 977 say    
No publicly available family members.
Also helenrgr also with 12,977 -

It would be better to do some groups at a time, rather than big lists with hardly any details. Birth dates, marriage dates, parents, etc.,

This site can be helpful.

Births (more than 100 years ago)
Deaths (more than 70 years ago)
Marriages (more than 75 years ago.) Not yet available. Work on this index will commence after the index of deaths has been completed

That's me.
My Tree Manager, who is a childhood friend, is and does cover all the Ancestry.com side especially.
I am not on it, forcing me to look at all the other possible alternatives, this way we cover nearly all of the potential ground of what's out there.
The entries I have have submitted to you in the past, and now, are really the ones that have truly escaped us.
I have been constantly amazed at what you have been able to unearth, where we have drawn a blank.

Quite a common name Don, with no additional info on most of them  ::)

One very small clue might be on the 1916 census Kindersley, Saskatchewan.

James Kirk   36 born 1880 NS. Farmer. Working on own account.
Agnes J Kirk   25 born NS 1891.
